Howdy, Driving an XE 3sp sedan around till my car is on the road again and its going through something like 22-25L per 100k's...!
On the econogauge I barely get it past 40 (half throttle thereabouts)
I do about 5 trips to work each week (5 mins each way) and maybe one outing, and im down almost $40 in fuel each week from it....its freeken shocking!

Spark plugs arnt that old, air filter is clean, just did an oil change, what the hell is going on?
I mean yeah its an old car but only has 140K on the clock and couldnt be using this much fuel surely! Anything i can check/adjust? I'm fairly mechanical minded but if its technical I'll need a picture or something so I know what I'm doing, Old pushrod falcons arn't my forte!

The carby 4.1 does bloody guzzle. If the auto choke is working properly youre barely getting it warm in 5 mins. If its running good and the plugs arent black chances are short runs are the culprit. Let it warm up for 30 secs or so and blip the throttle to flick off the choke.
